you might also want to check out the Maxi Cosi Mico infant carrier.

we're expecting our second one in April so I've been looking for a smaller infant carrier to fit in the F. i haven't actually test fit this particular seat yet.
i've also installed our Recaro ProSport convertible [in rear facing] for our toddler in the F before. like others said, it fits, but definitely not comfortable like in our larger SUV.

I will post the info with pictures when I get home. I know our forward facing is bigger/bulkeier than most seats. We just decided to keep it as we already had it from our previous infant. They are not in the seat forever so it's a compromise for the time being.

I went with the Britax B-Safe rear facing infant seat... actually, I bought the Britax Travel System which came with the stroller and infant seat. Here's a pic of my daughter when she still was using it:

But now, she's forward facing in these puppies

our forward facing seat is a graco and as mentioned above you have to fold up a towel to place under the base because of the depth of the seat. Our base is adjustable which also helps with the angle of the seat. The booster is a basic Eddie Bauer we purchased years ago at SAMs club.

I did a lot of research into this and came up with the Cybex Aton 2 as the best option for rear facing. It's the smallest of all the options at 26" installed, and it's the only one that is dead simple to use without the base, so when you travel by plane or in a car you don't own (like a taxi). It uses the LATCH system, so it's dead easy to move the base.
I'll post pics when I do the test fit. Oh yeah, it's only 8.8 lbs empty and it fits in any Maxi Cosi compatible stroller. The wife thinks that totally rocks.
Do you have a small car? Does the adult in front need to move his/her seat all the way back?
The Cybex takes up the least amount of space front-back, the Chicco just an inch more than the Cybex, and the Graco a smidge more than the Chicco – and the Britax a little more than the Graco.

I've gone through this dilemma recently, but try fitting twins in the back seat of an ISF 
The seats I'm using right now are the Cybex Sirona (they're huge but the seats can rotate which makes it easy to take the kids in and out of the car)
The seats in the pic above were the Cybex Aton which are smaller than the Sirona.
